From the what-separation-of-powers department:

The Department of Homeland Security has an update on the entry ban:

The Department of Homeland Security will continue to enforce all of President Trump's Executive Orders in a manner that ensures the safety and security of the American people. President Trump's Executive Orders remain in place—prohibited travel will remain prohibited, and the U.S. government retains its right to revoke visas at any time if required for national security or public safety. President Trump's Executive Order affects a minor portion of international travelers, and is a first step towards reestablishing control over America's borders and national security.

The NY Post adds:

The ACLU is getting "multiple reports" that federal customs agents are siding with President Trump — and willfully ignoring a Brooklyn federal judge's demand that travelers from seven Muslim countries not be deported from the nation's airports.

    Are the people even from the United States, that are writing these comments advocating acceptance of refugees?

    Are you even an American?
    A real patriot would know these lines by heart:

    “Give me your tired, your poor,
    Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
    The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
    Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me,
    I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”

    We didn't write those lines, France gave them to us. It's just a big lie for the French to toss their problems onto someone else. We're lifting our lamps to make sure the golden door hasn't been stolen!

    Anything can be interpreted to mean whatever you want it to mean.

    I love it. Quoting a poem written by a Jewish bitch from 1887.

    I say, take your tired poor ass home.
    Stop blowing shit up.
    We don't want the refuse.
    We don't want the terror teaming on our shore.
    Send these evil people back where they came from.

      I love posts like yours.
      Unlike runaway, VLM, buzzard, sulla, etc you don't try to dress up the fact that you are a nazi.
      You own it. Respect for that.

      If all the nazis would just cut the sophistry and let their raw naked hatred speak for itself, life would be a lot simpler. Probably less pleasant, but oh so simple.

    Statement was invalidated when the frontier closed, just like the social contract.

      What does that even mean?
      What social contract?
      Who says 'the frontier' was even relevant? I don't see mention of it on lady liberty.

      What I do see is someone resorting to barely coherent nonsense to avoid taking moral responsibility for endorsing the suffering of others.

    A pretty poem written by some nobody broad who won a stupid contest, had her words engraved onto a plaque, to be affixed to a statue, built by foreigners, and shipped here as a token of their awe for us.

    The poem isn't a legal device, it has no place in a court of law, it doesn't even have any place in a discussion like this.

    Poems. Do you want to recite Humpty Dumpty now? Or, Three Blind Mice? Those carry as much legal weight as your tired and hungry masses. Better, let's get right to the fairy tales - the Brother's Grimm. Go ahead, post the text of some of those. You might even want to use some of them in court when you attempt to impeach the president you don't like.

      Ozymandias, by Percy Bysshe Shelley

      I met a traveller from an antique land
      Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
      Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand,
      Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
      And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
      Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
      Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
      The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed:

      And on the pedestal these words appear:
      'My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
      Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!'
      Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
      Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
      The lone and level sands stretch far away.
